TrendNet TEW-736RE: Wireless range extending made easy

It's always frustrating to find dead spot in your wireless
networking, fortunately there's now an easy and affordable fix, the new
300Mbps Easy-N Range Extender, model TEW-736RE from TrendNet.
The company introduces the new device at
CES 2012 and claims that it will help extend the range of your wireless network within minutes.
According to TrendNet, all you have to do is place the TEW-736RE in
an area of low wireless coverage, then simply press the Wi-Fi Protected
Setup (WPS) button on your router or access point, then on the TEW-736RE
and you're done: the TEW-736RE is now extending your wireless network
to the area with previously low to no wireless coverage. This of course
only works if your current router or access point support WPS, which
most of them do.
TrendNet says the 300Mbps Easy-N Range Extender supports Multiple
Input Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna technology and Wireless N with
speed up to 300Mbps. However, the network speed is also limited by that
of your existing wireless router or access point. It's better to use the
extender in a network of the same standard.
Apart from th wireless network, the extender also comes with one
Ethernet port to host another wired client. The device also features LED
displays that show its working status for easy troubleshooting.
The new 300Mbps Easy-N Range Extender, model TEW-736RE, comes with a
three year limited warranty and will be available for purchase in
February with the estimated price of $60.
